The California State Athletic Commission on Wednesday announced the suspension of Kazuhiro Nakamura for testing positive for Marijuana. Nakamura lost a unanimous decision to Lyoto Machida on Saturday night at UFC 76 in Anaheim, Calif.
According to CSAC representative Bill Douglas, Nakamura has been fined $500. His suspension period runs from the conclusion of the bout with Machida on Sept. 22, 2007 through Dec. 21, 2007.
Every fighter on the UFC 76 event, 18 in total, was tested for drugs of abuse and anabolic agents/masking agents by the CSAC.
All the other fighters at UFC 76 tested negative for drugs of abuse. The results for the anabolic agents/masking agents are still pending.

UFC 76 Fight Salaries
Keith Jardine $14,000
Chuck Liddell $500,000
Forrest Griffin $44,000
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua $150,000
Lyoto Machida $50,000
Kazuhiro Nakamura $20,000
Jon Fitch $44,000
Diego Sanchez $22,000
Tyson Griffin $24,000
Thiago Tavares $9,000
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Akihiro Gono signed a four-fight deal with UFC
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm excited about Gono. He should be a good addition to the UFC. Anyone else find the fight salary report interesting? Liddell made 500,000
. UFC 78 looks like crap, IMO.
UPDATE: Frank Trigg announced on his radio show today that the Ortiz/Evans 2 match rumored for UFC 78 has been dropped in favor of Ortiz vs. Dan Henderson. UFC 78 just got it's main event.
